Chapter 620: Drawing firepower from the bottom of the cauldron (second update, please subscribe)

Who doesn’t like a bargain?
After Japan's one-dollar shirts appeared in the U.S. market, Americans didn't buy them in pieces, but in dozens.

Some people who travel frequently even buy a dozen shirts, change one shirt a day, throw them away after wearing them, and don't even need to wash them. Why such a waste?
It's just because it's cheap - one day's salary is enough to buy a dozen shirts. Who feels bad.

In the face of shirts priced at one dollar a piece, the textile industry of the United States started a trade war and tried to protect its own interests by relying on trade protection. But in the end, I could only kneel down.

In another time and space, Japan's bargains only had an impact on the U.S. textile industry. But now textile products are also Nanyang's flagship products. If Japanese bargains come, they will also have an impact on Nanyang's textile industry!
"Little Japan...it really doesn't make people worry!"

Li Yian felt a headache when he thought about the possible impact of Little Japan's "cheap shock wave", because the impact would not only be on the textile industry, but also on "trainees" in Nanyang.

Nowadays, the textile industry is the industry that attracts the most "trainees". "Trainers" are not only cheap labor for Nanyang, but also the fertility of Nanyang!

The rise of manufacturing in Japan means that many Japanese women can find jobs in Japan. Will they still come to Nanyang all the way?
This is the unknown.

And can Nanyang withstand the shock wave of cheap Japanese products?

the answer is negative.

After all, the American textile industry is kneeling to Japan and placing its trust in Tangshan. It was from Japan's cheap textile products that the American industry began its industrial transfer. Then there is the long road to deindustrialization - the textile industry in the 1950s, the steel industry in the 1960s, the home appliance industry in the 1970s, and microelectronics in the 1980s...

Looking at the deindustrialization path of the American industry, it is actually an industrial transformation path from low-end to high-end.

"Industrial Transfer!"

Suddenly, Li Yian's eyes lit up and he said to himself.

"Industrial transfer, Nanyang can also implement industrial transfer!"

Thinking of this, Li Yian picked up a cigar, nodded, took a puff, and then paced back and forth. Anyone who knows him well knows that this is his most accustomed action when thinking about problems.

The key factor in Japan's rise is trade!

Therefore, as long as the door to foreign trade restrictions is not completely opened, there will be no way out for the Japanese economy, and there will be no way to talk about real stability, revival, independence, and development.

There are two ways to prevent Japan from lifting restrictions on foreign trade. The first way is to prevent Japan from joining the "General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade" - under the control of the United States, after negotiating a separate peace with Japan through the "San Francisco Peace Treaty", Japan Go all out to join the "General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade", thus opening the door to foreign trade.

"So, the first step should be to block the door for them to join the General Agreement on Trade."

Joining the GATT is the most critical step for Japan to embark on the road to an export-oriented economy. Therefore, we must find ways to prevent Japan from joining it, or at least delay Japan's joining.

A day's delay is a day, a ten-year delay is a ten-year delay. All in all, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade is too important. As long as Japan does not join, it will be impossible for them to truly open up the world market.

"First think of a way to close the door, and then think of a way to draw out the firepower."

Nodding slightly, Li Yian took another puff of cigarette and continued to think.

"Well, the second step is to transfer the industry. If someone is destined to eat the rice bowl of "cheap goods", then instead of letting the Japanese eat it, it is better to let Nanyang eat it. Although "cheap goods" go against the basic principles of Nanyang Trade strategy, but... you can use cheap labor from other countries!”

For example, at this stage, the low-end textile industry in Nanyang can be transferred out. For example, Malaya is a good area for industrial transfer. Although the population of Malaya is far less than that of Japan, and there is still nearly half of the Peace Sect population, there are more overseas Chinese in the area, and the transfer of industries to the local area will help enhance the influence of overseas Chinese. And because of its population size, even if it dumps goods at full power against the United States, the impact on the United States, including the high-end textile industry in Nanyang, will be within control.

Malaya's population and population quality are not as good as Japan's, but the advantage is that Malaya is a British colony. At this stage, the imperial preferential system can also be used to help Malaya develop. On the other hand, although the power of Malaya's cheap shock wave is not as powerful as Japan's, it can bring a "bargain" shock to the United States, thereby ensuring that when Japan attempts to join the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, it will pull American textiles. The industry worked together to prevent Japan from joining. In fact, the reason why Japan is able to undertake a large number of industrial transfers from the United States is because they have the technical foundation for industrialization, especially in terms of talent. Although he took away Japan's industrial facilities, the talents he had cultivated were not completely lost, and these talents were the basis for Japan's reconstruction after the war.

The special needs economy of the Peninsula War also accelerated Japan's post-war economic recovery, but the key core is "foreign trade". As long as this door is closed, or as long as it is delayed for more than ten or twenty years, then Japan will cultivate before the war The accumulation of talents and technology will be lost in this process. Even if they re-join the "General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade" by then, it will be difficult to return.

After all, decades of economic recession will make the knowledge of technical talents fall far behind the times, and long-term unemployment will also make their professional abilities disappear. In the end, the best talents among them can be attracted to Nanyang Over time, ordinary people will gradually become mediocre.

In the end, the capital of Japan's rise will be completely exhausted - talent.

By then, even if the United States is willing to support it, it will take time, and it is even possible to start over. At most, it will be similar to Nanban, which did not begin to rise until the 1980s and 1990s.

"Industrial transfer is the first step!"

When he walked to the desk and looked at the report on the table, the corners of Li Yian's mouth curled up unconsciously.

In fact, Nanyang also needs industrial relocation. After all, many machinery and equipment in Nanyang's textile industry were demolished from Japan. Those mechanical equipment were at the technical level of the 1930s and were technically behind the times.

They will definitely be eliminated in the future. Instead of waiting for the future to be eliminated, it is better to eliminate the backward production capacity to Malaya and other places while they are not completely behind. On the one hand, they ensure that the profits of cheap goods will rot in their own pot. . On the other hand, it can also achieve technological upgrading of Nanyang's textile industry, thereby ensuring corporate profits.

"Now, before the Americans support Japan, let the American textile industry feel the shock of what a "bargain" is!"

Only by letting the Americans feel the "cheap shock wave" first can they be able to stand on their side and jointly prevent Japan from opening restrictions on foreign trade. As long as Japan does not join the "General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade" for one day, Japan's so-called war will The post-economic renaissance cannot become a reality in one day, and even things like stability are empty talk.

Just at this moment, Anna came over with a burst of fragrance.

"My dear, are you still busy? I prepared some fruits. You seem a little tired. Do you want to take a rest?"

Anna came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of cut fruit.

I have to say that a woman looks particularly beautiful after being fully moisturized. This woman recovers very quickly!
While feeling emotional, Li Yian closed the document quietly and said.

"Don't tell me, I'm really a little tired. There are so many things to deal with. I originally thought that if I come out, I won't have to work so hard, but things still got here. It's rare to have half a day free!"

"You can take some more rest!"

Anna smiled slightly. Since she changed from a girl to a woman, her changes are visible to the naked eye. Not only does her face look radiant, but her figure has also become plumper.

"It's not impossible!"

Li Yian said,
"But there are some things that I still can't let go of. But now that the problem has been solved, I can relax a little bit, but..."

Looking at the pouring rain outside the window, Li Yian said uncertainly,

"Who knows what will happen tomorrow? I hope there will be good weather tomorrow. By then, we can continue to the next stop."
